It was so obvious it truly didn’t need to be brought up, but when Bears coach Matt Eberflus was asked Friday whether No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams was immediately installed as the team’s starting quarterback — the other options are Tyson Bagent, Brett Rypien and undrafted free agent Austin Reed — he said, “No conversation. He’s the starter.”
The only significance of Eberflus saying publicly what everyone already knew is that it’s further evidence of the Bears making this move the right way — as opposed to the ham-handed onboarding of Mitch Trubisky and Justin Fields as rookies.
